RE: Is this the worse game?
Each game is different - out of the “battle” series of games, I prefer D-Day/Bulge/Guadalcanal, but that doesn’t mean Guadalcanal is the worst, it is just the 3rd place game in that lineup.
I honestly don’t get why AA50 is so revered - the pieces suck compared to AA42, the map is somewhat flimsy - but it has a HUGE box… yay.
What I did with my set of AA50 was buy 2 sets of AA42 at Target ($15 each, $30 total!) and was able to throw in LOTS of extra chips, and completely swapped out the US/UK/Germany/USSR/Japan pieces for the much better AA42 ones. The control markers and the charts are nice, but we buy Axis & Allies for the plastic pieces! Otherwise, we have warehouses full of thick, counter-based games to choose from.
Just my $0.02 - and in my opinion, the AAP40 and AAE40 games ROCK - I will buy 3 sets of AAE40 just for the pieces alone! (Finally - French & Italians!)

RE: HBG U.S. Naval Sculpts Preorder
Paul, about buying individual units…
Economically, for coachofmany, he would probably set the price such that buying individual pieces is more expensive than the full set. Think about it - he doesn’t want to get stuck with 5,400 Colorado class battleships
Remember the mold spits out “x” number of pieces, whether it be 12 or 20.

RE: The Return of Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition
Your “rare” cruiser is from the 1941 edition.
Assuming you mean the entry level AA1941, there are no cruisers in that game. Unless you meant a different game?
I stand corrected - for some reason I read “destroyer” instead of “cruiser”.

I couldn’t decide on a price, took tons of photos and decided eBay was the best locale.

RE: Selling a HUGE collection - pieces galore (thousands!), Anniversary, 1940, etc
I got home and realized I had sold some of the boards from earlier games, so I revised my listing. Trying to figure out a price as we speak!

Selling a HUGE collection - pieces galore (thousands!), Anniversary, 1940, etc
I’m selling my massive lot of games of pieces (don’t worry, I’m keeping some :-D)
I’ll catalog tonight, but for now this is what I think have (subject to minor variations - please note that I don’t have the original boxes due to storage capacity but everything is in MINT condition. Pieces are at the bottom!
A&A 1942 2nd Ed board, rules
A&A 1941 board, rules
A&A Europe 1940 board, rules
A&A Pacific 1940 board, rulesPIECES!!! All of the above pieces, and then some. I have THOUSANDS of pieces, in a box roughly the size of a paper box. Included are A&A Anniversary Italians (tanks!) and Red Japanese from the original Pacific. Creme British from D-Day and Revised, and TONS more. I will also include some HBG Axis minors pieces as well (black). You will NEVER run out of pieces in any A&A game again. Ever. I don’t even want to guess how many pieces there are, but my conservative estimate is at least 5-6000.
I will not break this lot. I honestly have no idea what to list this at, any offer must be reasonable as this is pretty much everything you need to play every game in the A&A series, as well as future versions.
Offer if you’d like, I’m still counting the pieces in order to figure out how much to charge.

RE: 1942 Second Edition Preview 1: Contents of the Box
Thanks! No worries, you haven’t been scooped at all. I’m waiting eagerly for shots of the new units, specifically the German artillery.

HBG - Axis & Allies Parts/Accessories and Custom Piece Sets Store!
I’m only putting this up because I’ve done business several times with the person who owns this, and he was awesome each time.
Our very own member, coachofmany, has launched his own Axis & Allies store, www.historicalboardgaming.com.
His store sells individual A&A pieces, custom control markers, the most amazing production certificates around, as well as several sets of custom designed plastic piece sets in the same scale and colors as OOB pieces! Take a look around, and be sure that these are top quality products!

RE: Anti-Aircraft Artillery revealed!
Are the US colors dark green or olive drab? I was going to get some supplement pieces from Historical board gaming and wanted to know the right color for the US units. Really looking foward to this and the other reprints later this year.
OOB A&A US units are always Olive Drab.
